Guess we can check the code and see for ourselves, of course.

Alas, you can't really know if the code on Github is actually the same running on their servers.

Author here. I concur, just like any other open source software running as a hosted service. It has to be trust based.

It doesn't need to be trust-based, and in fact shouldn't be trust-based, because even if I trust you, I also have to trust the people who could coerce or bypass you, or people who could maliciously access/modify your systems.

This is why end-to-end encryption is really the only way to make promises as a server about not reading / storing logs.
